Council Committee to Hear Ordinance That Would Ban Smoking in Multi-Family Housing
What happened with the outcome of this? I so wish I knew about this hearing. I am willing to become an activist in support of this proposed ordinance! I am a disabled gal who lives in a senior living community (The Orchard Apts in Point Loma) with restrictive airway disease from being exposed to second hand smoke as a result of my parents' chain smoking. They just moved a smoker in next to me and I am furious. We as nonsmokers need to have more rights! They should at least create separate buildings for each group. I am completely dependent on public transportation and am exposed to smoking all day long while on the bus. There are signs near the bus stops prohibiting smoking but hardly anyone pays attention to them so I have to remind them constantly. In return, these people curse and and yell at me comments like, "are you the smoking police???" I have to go to the UCSD medical center in Hillcrest twice a week for treatments and they supposedly have a nonsmoking policy on all their property, including the parking lots. But smokers are all over the place!!! Come on, San Diego, let's enact some protection for nonsmokers and enforce the regulations that exist!! Please let me know where I can sign up to help in this cause.— March 22, 2012 6:24 a.m.
